Electric Foil Shavers

Foil Shaver

Electric foil shavers consist of a thin foil layer which cover the blades. The advantage of this setup is that the hair is lifted away from the skin for a precise cut. The second advantage is that the blade does not directly touch your skin, which is great for your skin.

Depending on the brand and model, foil shavers can have 3 or 4 blades. Obviously, more blades means a faster and precise shave.

An important thing to remember when using a foil shaver is that you use it by moving it in straight lines across your face.
